Halima Mouhib

Halima Mouhib serves as Associate Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with triple appointments across the Faculty of Science (Bioinformatics), Amsterdam Institute for Mathematics & Computational Science (AIMMS), and Network Institute.

Her research centers on computational approaches to protein science, specializing in structural bioinformatics, protein folding dynamics, and molecular simulation techniques. She investigates fundamental mechanisms including odorant binding protein functionality, protein structure prediction algorithms, and biophysical properties of amyloid and autotransporter systems using advanced computational modeling.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on educational resource development for protein science alongside cutting-edge research in molecular dynamics. Her 2023-2025 output reveals strong emphasis on creating foundational materials for structural bioinformatics while advancing computational methods for analyzing protein behavior in biological systems.

Dr. Mouhib actively supervises student research through multiple project-based courses including Major Bioinformatics Research Project and Research Questions in Bioinformatics, providing hands-on training in computational biology methodologies. Her teaching directly bridges theoretical concepts with practical research applications.

She maintains active collaborations within VU's interdisciplinary research ecosystem, particularly through AIMMS and Network Institute, where she contributes to cross-departmental initiatives connecting computational science with biological discovery.
